Open Topic Discussions -

Open Topic Discussions are open to topic suggestions from members. Often a member will suggest a topic, such as "recovery and relapse" that they either would like to share about, or that they would like to hear from other members on. Usually open topic meetings include several topics, so that members have a choice of recovery topics to discuss. If a member has something to discuss that is not on the list of topics, they may share on anything affecting their recovery. These meetings tend to take on a life of their own, as members find new messages in what is shared, the topics may shift. The chairperson will either suggest a topic or ask for suggestions. To volunteer a topic, or to volunteer to share, members raise their hands by typing an exclamation point (!). Our focus here is open discussion of what is currently affecting our recovery, with one person sharing at a time, if they so choose, while the room is moderated so that no one is interrupted during their share.
